I get e-mail, some of it interesting, some of it useful in the classroom.
The Bill of Rights Institute’s essay contest has a deadline just over a month away. Are your students entering?
Here’s the e-mail I got:
___________________________________
It is not too late for you and your students to win over $63,000 in awards by entering the Being an American essay contest.

They will explore civic values, describe American ideals, and connect with the Constitution. The top winners will attend an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on April 4-5, 2008!
Contest ends December 3, 2007!
